An Angel Sets Down in Pasadena, California
By Alan Gray, NewsBlaze

Thanks to young men like Mike Stokely, the US is safer than it would be otherwise.
Mike Stokely went to Iraq in May 2005, with the 48 Brigade of the Georgia National Guard. He died on August 16th, three months later. It isn't Mike's death that make us safer, it is his willingness to serve his country.

Last week in Pasadena, California, the Soldiers' Angels organization held its Executive Leadership Conference, where Angels gathered together, many meeting face-to-face for the first time.

Robert Stokely is one of those Angels.

As Mr. Gray states so poignantly:

Their stories need to be told, because good work is being done. The lives of young men like Mike Stokely are being given, but for some reason, much of the media has only been interested in talk of failure and death. There is a lot more to the story but only NewsBlaze, TalkingWithHeroes, a few other newspapers and the mil blogs tell it consistently.

Thanks for helping us tell the story.
